Rye Randa Discusses Scoring For NBC's New Series The Wanted - Page 5

This project has been very demanding, and has taken a majority of our time for the last eight months. However, we have taken on other projects as well. The bottom line is that we're very passionate and love what we do, so we don't mind working around the clock when necessary.

That passion and love for their craft is highly evident in every piece of music I've heard from these artists.  "The Great Divide" theme song has smash hit written all over it!  It fully captures the intensity, excitement and drama of what is certain to be NBC's new hit series The Wanted.  The song is made of soul pounding classic rock in its most raw and exquisitely powerful form!  


Michael JohnsJeff Foxworth and Rye Randa are the artists-writer-producers that make up the newly formed entity called "The Ontic".  Collectively, they bring highly acclaimed experience in scoring to everything they create. These are the same guys, who along with Michael Johns (latest release story here), co-wrote and performed on the score for the Shaun White documentary soundtrack Don't Look Down - The Height Of Competition.  


That brilliant soundtrack was nominated for "Best Original Music Score" at X-Dance 2009 for their excellence in artistry.  Add to that bit of genius Michael Johns co-writing and laying down incredible vocals for the new single "The Great Divide", and you've got a smash hit on your hands!  Look for NBC's new series The Wanted and trailer video coming out soon. The series airs on NBC beginning July 20th at 10PM!

I could apply many of the principles and definitions I found when I looked up the term "The Ontic" to this newly formed entity they've so named and created.  At a website called Larval Subjects, the writer gives what he or she considers is "The Ontic Priciple".  But before actually giving their thought on the subject, explains the simplicity of the principle in this way.

"This thought, though it will no doubt sound disappointing, almost banal, once I formulate it as a principle, was one of those moments where you feel as if you’ve been struck by lightning, blinded, or hit in the gut with a sudden philosophical idea where everything feels as if it’s being drawn together. Or perhaps again, it was the flash of a fundamental commitment, a drawing of the line, that you were trying to articulate all along."

Here's the theory that writer came up with:

The Ontic Principle: There is no difference that does not make a difference.

That principle, though simply put, is truly profound if you think about it long enough.  Although I could apply that principle to the writing-producing team of the same name, I still prefer Rye's explanation of "The Ontic" as an entity.  You'll recall he said the word "Ontic" means "pertaining to that which is real" or "having the status of real and ultimate existence".

    Interesting that you should mention a list while advertising your reverse look up cell service. I've considered starting a list of my own called "Screwples", not to be confused with the term scruples. This would be a list of people who have the tendency to screw other people in their industry. lol Interesting concept anyway.
